Twenty-four hours after a 26-14 loss to the Detroit Lions that saw the offense put up a season-low 157 yards, Josh McDaniels' tenure as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders came to an end.
Raiders owner Mark Davis announced on Tuesday night that McDaniels and general manager Dave Ziegler have been fired. Former linebacker Antonio Pierce, was the linebackers coach on McDaniels' staff, will take over as interim head coach.
The decision to fire McDaniels comes amid multiple instances of star wide receiver Davante Adams expressing his frustration with the offense this season.
